  1. 25.2.1 Windows 10 - Occasionally No Fonts Load

    I am not sure if this is a reproducible but on Windows 10 1909, since upgrading to Illustrator 25.2.1 will occasionally not load any fonts after opening. The font selection dropdown list is entirely blank and no system fonts or activated typekit fonts show. I have no issue with fonts in any other programs.

  2. No puedo copiar objetos entre pestañas utilizando alt+click izquierdo y arrastre

    Cuando copio un objeto (elemento) por el método Alt+click izquierdo y arrastre del ratón y quiero trasladarlo de pestañas no se abre la pestaña de destino. El objeto se copia, aparece el símbolo + y la pestaña cambia de color pero el documento de destino no se abre. Esto no pasa si paso un objeto de AI a PSD ni entre pestañas de PSD que si se abren y los elementos se copian sin problema.

    Mi versión de Adobe Illustrator es la 25.2.1.

  3. Action shortcuts are lost when rearranging action sets

    If I manually rearrange the order of my Action Sets by dragging a set up or down in the list, all the shortcuts assigned to the actions in this set are lost.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.1.0 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  4. Emoji Baseline issues

    Using macOS Big Sur with Illustrator 25.0.1

    Anytime I use emojis on Illustrator, a portion of the emoji below the baseline gets cut off. When I zoom out, it looks normal again. I haven't had this issue before. Even on export, a chunk at the bottom of the emoji still gets cut off.

  5. Mudança no perfil de cores toda vez que o illustrator é aberto ou muda de janela

    Meu illustrator está apresentando constantes bugs no perfil de cores. Toda vez que alterno as janelas de trabalho, ou abro algum arquivo novo, ou inicio ele do zero ele muda a configuração de gerenciamento de cores para uma opção "emular adobe illustrator 6.0" já tentei salvar as configurações de gerenciamento, já tentei utilizar o Bridge pra sincronizar as cores entre os apps e nada funciona.

    Poderiam me ajudar com isso?

  6. Typeface combo box doesn't work in Glyphs palette

    Cannot open list of typefaces.
    Clicking on down arrow next to field results in highlighting the whole field, next click switches highlighting off.
    Starting to type in field (to provide typeface name) just empties the field and does nothing more.
    Next field - typeface style (bold, italic etc.) works fine.

  8. type tool is fundamentally broken.

    Why did you f up the type tool?? It, like almost everything else in Illustrator, doesn't work as good as it did a few versions back. I don't mind you making changes, but when it starts to impede productivity, it's a problem. I hate this program now. HATE. It's a buggy, aggravating, and just does not work seamlessly as it once did.

    With the type tool, I have issues placing the cursor in the type. if I use the hand tool in conjunction with the type tool, it overrides the hand tool and starts adding spaces. Neve been a problem…

  9. Color in Adobe CC Libraries Are Not Functioning As Expected?

    I am using Adobe CC Design Apps, specifically the latest release, for Illustrator 25.2.3 (as of 5.14.21) on a 2017 MacBook Pro on BigSur 11.2.3. The issue that I am having is as follows:

    I am building a library of 100+ illustrations that all use a custom library of CMYK colors. There are 10 colors in total.

    I have created a CC library of my colors — each color has been set as a CMYK value and defined as a spot color with the global box checked. My documents are all set to the CMYK color space, and they are all…

  10. There are standards that cannot be selected when saving PDF

    I'm using Bigsur (not M1).
    When I try to create a PDF in Illustrator 25.1, I can't select the latest standard.
    You can save it to another Catalina Mac with the same version installed as usual (the bright UI is a normal image).

  13. Arrow Head and Font Drop Down in Floating Panels display bug on Multiple displays

    The Arrow Head drop down menu in the Stroke panel pops up in weird places as shown in the attached video.

    Similarly, the fonts drop-down menu in the Character panel seems to be showing much larger than it normally would.

    This only happens when I am using multiple screens.

  15. Erratic Behaviour When Selecting Large Amounts of Outlined Text

    When I select large amounts of outlined copy - 200+ words - all of a sudden my screen display is very erratic (see attached images - these are all shot from the same file it flickers like that until I deselect the copy).

    This has not happened in the past (this is something I have been doing on a regular basis for almost eight years now).

    The text is all outlined. The document size is 38x58 inches. It happens with or without layers (the document has 3 layers and the art is on the bottom layer).

    It does not happen…

  16. illustrator 2021 won't open large files created in 2020 version

    Opening large files created in the 2020 version gives a message " Illustrator could partially read this file. We recovered as much of the file as possible, but some content might be missing. Open to view the recovered file."

    Any file with multiple layers or artboards only shows one artboard and layers are missing. The weird thing is the preview shows the full file and artboards, they just won't open.

    Is anyone else having this problem? I've found that if you install illustrator 2020 and open it there it usually works (although not always)

  18. Lenteur Illustrator 2021 et incapacité d'ouvrir les fichiers

    Bonjour, je travaille sur PC (Windows 10). Depuis la mise à jour (version 2021) , l'ouverture d'Illustrator est extrêmement lente. Ce matin, aucun fichier ne s'ouvre. J'ai redémarré mon pc à plusieurs reprises, désinstaller et réinstaller Illustrator. Rien n'y fait.

  19. The selection list of Zoom levels has commas instead of decimals

    At the bottom left of the interface where Zoom level is displayed and can be selected, the values that should have decimals (ie. 66.67%, 33.33%, 16.67%, etc.) have commas instead. When those values are selected the Zoom level doesn't recognize the comma, so it just zooms to 6667%, 3333%, 1667%, etc. which is obviously not expected or useful.
